Yes - speed is rate of change of position irrespective of direction. What an object cannot do is change direction without changing velocity, which is speed in a particular direction, i.e. a vector rather than a scalar. In vector terms, speed is the modulus of the velocity vector.
An example would be a body in gravitational circular orbit around another body - constant speed, but continuously changing velocity due to the gravitational force.

What vector represents the distance and direction of an objects change in position?
velocity
What causes change in velocity?
If an object's velocity changes -- if its speed increases or decreases or if its direction changes -- that means it has accelerated. For an object to accelerate, the sum of the forces acting upon it must be non-zero. So, in other words, forcechanges an object's velocity.
What happens to an objects speed if it travels with zero acceleration?
That means, of course, that the velocity (and the speed) doesn't change.
How does zero net force affect an objects state of motion?
If there is zero net force on an object, the object will not accelerate. (It's velocity will not change.)
How does air resistance affect the velocity of an object?
Acceleration is a change in velocity. More precisely, to get acceleration, you divide the change in velocity, by the time that passed.Acceleration is a change in velocity.

The change in an object velocity?
a change in a objects velocity is caused by a unbalanced force :)
Is velocity a change in an objects motion?
Velocity is a change in an object's motion OR direction of motion.
What do you call it when an objects velocity changes?
A change in an objects velocity is called acceleration. Velocity is defined as an objects speed of travel AND its direction of travel. Acceleration can change only an objects speed, only its direction or both. If there is no acceleration acting on the object, then the velocity remains constant.
The rate of change in an objects position?
This is velocity.
What is the objects change in speed called?
That's simply called a change in velocity. On the other hand, the rate of change in velocity - how quickly velocity changes - is called acceleration.
What is the change in one objects position compared to an another objects fixed position?
velocity
What would you apply in order to change an objects velocity?
force
A change in a objects velocity is called?
either resistance or inertia
Mass is a measure of an objects resistance to?
To acceleration (change in velocity).
What change in velocity?
Objects that do not speed up, slow down, or change it's direction unless they are pulled in some kind of way can change velocity.
What two things do you need to find an objects velocity?
Change in position and change in time velocity= delta displacement/delta time
Forces that cause an objects velocity to change?
In all cases acceleration.
